    10 STEPS TO SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN IN CRICKET CHILD WELLBEING AND PROTECTION POLICY Updated September 2019 Reviewed January 2017 1 Acknowledgements Cricket Scotland would like to thank CHILDREN 1ST and sportscotland for their assistance in the preparation of this publication, which is based closely on the Children 1st 10 Steps to Safeguarding Children in Sport document. Copies of the 10 steps to Safeguarding Children in Sport document can be made available in other formats and languages. Please contact the Safeguarding in Sport Service for more information. www.safeguardinginsport.org.uk Email: [email protected] 2 Guidance: Children’s Wellbeing in Scotland It is important to recognise what we mean by children’s wellbeing. As part of Scotland’s national approach to ‘Getting it Right for Every Child’ (GIRFEC), the wellbeing wheel demonstrates the eight indicators that are believed to be essential for a child’s overall wellbeing. By having a universal language and understanding for all people that work with children, collectively we can contribute to promoting, supporting and safeguarding a child’s wellbeing whether they are in an educational, health, community or sports setting. It is essential that in sport we understand not only how participation in sport contributes to these wellbeing indicators, but also what we need to do if we are ever worried that something is impacting a child’s wellbeing. As part of the ‘Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014’, the concept of wellbeing and the GIRFEC approach is now enshrined

The overall objective was to undertake an impact assessment highlighting the success or otherwise over the past two years (April 2014 to mid-2016) of SSS’s current strategy in meeting its stated aims and the expectations of funding partners. The detailed aims were to critically assess: the progress of SSS against its stated aims and the conditions of investment from funding partners; the impact of its regional delivery, in terms of competitions, development, and member support; and the profile of SSS and its relationships with other agencies across education and sport. This document comprises a summary drawn together from the full Best and Randak report, to be published on the SSS website by the end of October. Methodology Following discussions with SSS, the following methods were used to obtain the information and views needed to meet the objectives of the review: 1 A trawl of published and unpublished documents from SSS itself; its members; its partners including SGBs, BUCS, sportscotland and the SFC. 2 A substantial questionnaire to sports-related staff, elected students and volunteers - gleaning 64 responses with valuable quantitative and qualitative information. 3 A short email questionnaire to a limited number of other organisations with links to SSS, resulting in five responses.
